The Spice Pastes of the World
Our selection of international spice pastes is a testament to the richness of global gastronomy. From the red curry pastes of Thailand to the fiery harissa of North Africa, and to the delicious masala of India, our spice pastes are your ticket to a world full of flavours. We understand that authenticity matters. Each of the spice pastes that we stock in-store and online has been carefully curated by our team to capture the essence of its region.
Let’s take a look at how you can create your own delicious dishes from around the world using our extensive range of spice pastes at Leo Foods.
India’s Authenticity
Our Indian pastes can be used in many traditional recipes and consist of high-quality ingredients sourced directly from India. You can trust that each paste is a true representation of its regional roots, allowing you to recreate authentic Indian dishes in your own kitchen. Indian pastes are incredibly versatile, making them the perfect choice for those who love to experiment with bold and complex flavours. Heera is one of our main selling brands here at Leo Foods and they know how to make every meal taste better with their extensive range of pastes, powders and seasonings. These pastes can be used to marinate meats, create delicious curries, infuse soups, or enhance sauces. We also stock many more leading Indian brands such as Pataks, Shan, MDH and Rishta.
Thai Cuisine
Thai cuisine is known for its diverse array of spices and aromas, and perhaps the most popular brand is the famous Thai brand, Aroy-D.
We love the Aroy-D Massaman Curry Paste here at Leo Foods. Hailing from the southern regions of Thailand, Massaman curry distinguishes itself from other Thai curries through its unique preparation method. The key distinction lies in the pre-roasting of spices and the inclusion of ingredients not typically found in Thai cuisine. Traditional Massaman curry paste includes ingredients such as cardamom, star anise, shrimp paste and many more of these delicious flavours. Massaman paste combines the best of Indian flavours with Thai ingredients, resulting in a culinary experience.
Korean’s Kick Ass Favourites
On to another favourite here at Leo Foods: Korean! We stock a variety of Korean food brands including the viral Korean red chili paste, Gochujang, which is an excellent choice to serve with Korean fried chicken wings, in addition to many other recipes. Think of Korean mixed rice with sashimi, Kimchi deviled eggs, Korean dolsot bibimbap and we can think of many more that will broaden your horizons on Asian specialities.
Mexico’s Finest
It goes without saying that Mexican cuisine is perhaps one of the most beloved in the world, and here at Leo Foods, we have everything you need to cook up your own Mexican feast! The main Mexican brands to look out for here are La Costeña, Clemente Jacques & La Anita. They all offer a huge variety of key Latin American products such as Salsa Verde, Adobo pastes, beans and much, much more. Spices and seasonings such as cajun and chipotles chiles adobados are the perfect ingredients to add flavour to your homemade meals too.
